Madonna's Lullaby

Ah, clenched little hands, so dear;
Little brows so thoughtful and clear;
Ah, smooth little side, so sweet,
And soft little unstained feet;―
There is nothing―no, nothing―to fear.
I hear a shouting, far away,
You shall ride on a kingly palm-strewn way,
One day, one triumphing day.
